Bailing out on class around 7:30pm, I drove my way home, stopping at church on the way. I entered to see little boys soaring, screeching, and sprinting around the building, sticking their tongues out at every little and big girl they saw enter their domain.Proceeding to my office, I made copies of one of the devotionals I looked forward to presenting one night in the Dominican Republic...wow, I'd be in the Dominican in a less than 24 hours.Other team members stopped in, slipping last minute things into their bags. After a brief exchange of excitement and a pinch of nervousness, I proceeded home to take one last hot shower and finish loading my carry-on bag.Around 11:15pm, I returned to MCRC. Switching some last things in and out of my carry-on bag and luggage, I realized I had forgotten my bottle of Tums, Advil, and Excedrin - true essentials for a week in the Dominican Republic. I drove back home and returned in plenty of time for the passport copying party in the office. I also discovered the multitudes of video cameras accompanying us on the journey.We gathered in a circle to say a prayer for the trip. This was it.Jackie, Pete, John, and I rode in Pete's pickup, and by 12am we were on our way.
